"It's hard to find good help"

or so they say..........I happen to have an awesome assistant though.
Meet Kate.

Kate's more than good at just carrying stuff, she's quite a talented artist, writer, and lucky for me a great friend. (that's right--she likes to hang out with me even when I'm not paying her!)

Kate and I were both feeling a little edgy the other day and needed to get out of town, but seeing as we both had a hectic schedule we only had 90 minutes, so laying at the lake was out of the question. Luckily, we live in an area where a quick 5 minute drive will put you what seems like in the middle of nowhere. As Kate mostly does wedding and event shoots with me, she's never on individual shoots with me and had never seen my "super secret trespass truck" (as I like to call it) lol. So, off we went over the hill and through the woods (but not to anyone's grandma's house).

It was a perfect short 90 minutes of relaxation and fun. I hurried off to a client meeting when we got back into town and Kate headed to her night job. (rumor has it she makes a mean steak!)

Thanks for being you Kate, I heart you girl!
